Milford Personal Injury Attorney

Representing injured Milford residents since 1956, whether your case is filed at the courthouse on West River Street in Milford or in the New Haven Judicial District.

Personal injury representation in Milford

Milford is a city of more than 50,000 people southwest of New Haven, about twenty minutes from our downtown office on Interstate 95. The LoRicco Law Firm has represented injured people in Greater New Haven since 1956, and we handle auto accident, fall, dog bite, and workplace injury cases for Milford residents.

Milford is built around through-traffic. I-95 crosses the entire city, the Boston Post Road retail strip runs past the Connecticut Post Mall, the largest shopping mall in Connecticut, and the Milford Parkway funnels drivers between I-95 and the Wilbur Cross Parkway. Add Metro-North commuters downtown and beach traffic to Silver Sands and Walnut Beach in the summer, and Milford sees a steady stream of serious collisions and pedestrian accidents.

Milford residents can keep their case close to home. The city belongs to the Ansonia-Milford Judicial District, so a Milford resident's injury lawsuit can be filed at the Superior Court at 14 West River Street, right in downtown Milford. Connecticut law also gives Milford residents the option of the New Haven Judicial District, whose main courthouse is at 235 Church Street in New Haven, and we handle cases in both.

Consultations are free, and there is no obligation. If you cannot come to us, we come to you, including hospital visits.

Common questions

What to know in Milford

General information only. Deadlines, venue, and recovery depend on the facts of a specific case.

Where would my Milford injury case be heard?

You have a choice. Milford belongs to the Ansonia-Milford Judicial District, so a Milford resident's injury lawsuit can be filed at the Superior Court at 14 West River Street in downtown Milford. When either side of the case lives in Milford, Connecticut law also lets the person bringing the case file in the New Haven Judicial District instead, whose main courthouse is at 235 Church Street in New Haven. If the other side lives in a different district, that court may be an option too. We handle cases in both and will help you choose.

What should I do after a crash on I-95 or the Post Road in Milford?

Get medical attention first, even if you feel mostly fine, because some serious injuries show up days later. Photograph the scene and the vehicles if you safely can, get the other driver's information and any witness names, and be careful with insurance adjusters: the other driver's insurer does not represent your interests. Then speak with an attorney before giving a recorded statement or signing anything.

How long do I have to bring an injury claim in Milford?

Most Connecticut negligence injury lawsuits must be brought within two years from when the injury is first sustained or discovered, or reasonably should have been discovered, and generally no later than three years from the act or omission that caused it. Claims against a town or the state, and some other case types, have much shorter notice deadlines, so call early.
